And finally, we'd like to leave you with this Sherlockian version of the Perry Como classic "Home for the Holidays." We creatively call it "Holmes for the Holidays."
Oh there's no one like
Holmes for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam,
When you pine for the genius
Of deductive grace
For the holidays you can't beat
Holmes sweet Holmes.

I met a man who lived in Baker Street
And he was headin' for Baskerville Hall
To track a ghostly hound.
From Baskerville Hall folks are travelin’ down
To chases on the moor.
While Grimpen is prolific, gee
The howling is terrific.

Oh there's no one like Holmes
For the holidays, ‘cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want
To be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Holmes, sweet Holmes.
